The lab comprises of groups with 8-12 pupils, 10th-13th grade (all female groups & female-male groups). The groups have own research-questions and access to tools or 3D-printers; access to areas of special interest (flight simulator, wind tunnel). The aim is to convey appreciation and develop ties to the university, leading to a later study decision for one of the participating universities. Accompanying educational research will show whether this new approach is suited to raise self-concept and motivation especially for girls. In the course of the project, it will be possible to follow the network pupils and check their study decision.
The programme is offered by the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at TU Braunschweig. SE²A takes part by offering internships.
Pinut supports female students at senior high school level with spending their compulsory internship at one of the institutes of Mechanical Engineering at TU Braunschweig.
In addition, tours on the university campus, to the library and to research institutes are offered.
